12.00 Over West Germany now. See that's off to Minsk Belarus - On a side note , last week on ' urgent business ' I had a trip, middle of last week , that ended up Wednesday evening Lancashire to Berkshire by car. A route I am familiar with , but not normally at this time - weekdays .. Hitting Birmingham after 8pm I have never seen so many transport parcel lorries DHL , DPD , yodel Hermes etc etc. on the M6 M42 M5 etc. there were literally hundreds of trucks all moving around Birmingham Motorway network and with the lack of normal traffic everything @ speed limit ( don't use the toll - rip off IMO ) . Seem to hit this at the perfect time peak time for parcel hubs. I am sure ' some ' of these transport aircraft @ BHX has something to do with this peak of trucks IMO. Just thought I would share this
